Funny thing is, I'm doing absolutely no marketing at the moment. I'm assisting. I have a website but don't really seek out my own jobs.

A lot of what I get is obviously price shoppers. If you look at my site...there is nothing on it that even remotely says 'wedding'. They are just looking for prices. But I'm happy to pass it on because they'll have to hire somebody.

Khampa! Good to see you on here! Oh, I heard Tom took the buyout! Wow! Sorry, back to the topic.

Hi Leslie, Tom and a lot more really good shooters are wanting the buyout. It will become official on Monday, I've heard. The wedding photography business is getting more crowded everyday.

Wow, I guess so! I sent a message back to Tom (he had sent one to me on Facebook about accepting the buyout) to find out if he was interested in doing any wedding photography. I just heard Leeson took the buyout, too, but he's got film projects lined up. It's so weird the way the industry is going! A lot of great shooters are leaving, ugh, more wedding competition...lol!!

I read this thread earlier and it just now kicked in who Khampha is. Sorry about that Khampha. Good to see you posting here too.

Shane, please count me in. My site is in need of an overhaul but I have some private galleries I can use to show my work until I get a chance to rebuild it.

Thanks,
Roy
